"Ed" Butler, the boss of St. Louis has
been indicted tor the most flagrant
fraud* since thedajs of Tweed. Indeed
it seem - that if the New York grafter
were alive now he would think that he
bad Leea entirely too moderate, as Lord
Clive remarked. Butler was convicted
and sent to jail some years ago by the
redoubtable Folk, acting as the city's
prosecuting attorney, and escaped on a
technicality in the indictment. Now
he is again in toils, and the same testi
mony which last week sent throe of a
gang to jail is to be brought against
him.
Mrs. Maybrick, an Auieridan heiress
born Florence Chanoler, wag released
from an English prison, after serving
fifteen years of a life sentence for poi
soning her husband, last Wednesday.
She went ti France, but with her
mother, fne baroness de Roche, will
soon appear in this country to contest
some rich Virginia estates. This is
the end oi a case that has attracted
world-wide attention and has given rise
to tbe most conflicting opinions. More
preasure was brought to have the wo
man pardoned soon after her conviction
than in any case in modern times, but
nothing ever came of it except her re
lease after fifteen years, which is not
uncommon where there is a doubt as to
the guilt and where the prisoner has
made a good record.
It was often reported that Queen Vic
toria was greatly opposed to any ameli
oration of the sentence because she did
not like reports of Mrs. Maybrick's con
duct aside from tbe allegation ef mur
der. Tht:Be same people expected that
when the new King succeeded he would
be swift to free the woman. While it is,
of course, possible that tbe Queen did
prevent the pardon, it is not very likely,
since the home Secretary has complete
control of snch matters, and while a
sovereign might interfere the contingen
cy is a remote one. The course punned
was that which would have been fol
lowed had not any efforts been made in
her behalf.

Sheriff Gibson struck what he
thought was the toughest gang in his
experience one day last week. He went
to Natrona to serve a subpoena in di
vorce and inquired of an officer the lo
cation of the party he was looking for.
The officer told bim to be careful as
they were a bad lot and would shoot
The Sheriff wanted him to go along, he
declined, but offered the sheriff, who
was unarmed, a gun. Sheriff Gibson
refused it and went alone. He entered
the house while the people were eating.
A man jumped up from the table with
a gun in his hand and said "what the
b do you want?" Gibson said "sit
down or I'll knock you down, I'm going
to serve a subpoena on this woman and
after that you can have her." The wo
man said she was glad her husband was
sueing. She was living with another
man.

The contest over the estate of Martin
Wahl, dec'd, of Evans City, has been

wore loose morally; and when Miss
Cupim gave birth to a baby, Schopfer
put her out of the house. Mrs. Schop
fer, sometime after induced Schopfer to
make a will in her favor, and then the
women conspired to kill him. Several
plans were considered and they settled
ujx>n getting him drunk by drugging
his beer; then shooting him in bed, and
making it out a case of suicide. This
was done and the scheme worked out
well, bat Miss Cupps told a man named
Jahn, who bad secured the revolvers for

Fair did an immense business in Butler
last week. The grounds at the corner
of West Ciav and Broad streets were
crowded, every evening, with men. wo
men and children; and besides this the
board-walks at north end of Broad
street were crowded every night, to
wards 10 o'clock, with people to see the
man, Thompson, drop ninety feet, into
a pool of water at the foot of the ladder
—the pool consisting of a large canvas
bag or tub. held up at the rims by frame
work, and filled with water to a depth
about six feet. Thompson crawled up
the ladder, and fell head first, but be
fore reaching the water twisted hims-lr
so that he alighted on his back makii g
a tremendous splash, as he i* a heavy
man. The ladder and tub were electric
lighted, and the dive was made late, so
as to hold the crowd, and give the
"barkers' an opportunity to induce as
many as possible to enter the snide
shows, two of which were ordered
closed by the local authorities. Aud
besides this two of the alleged managers
were arrested and held for court on
charges of indecent or immoral exhibi- ■
lions, while another hid under the can
vass on a baggage car. then took to the i
woods and afterwards boarded a train '
at a country station, and thus escaped |
